Sahil Thakare

At OpenText, I architect and manage global hybrid Kubernetes clusters supporting 10,000+ users and 1,500+ production nodes while maintaining 99.9% service availability.

I led a GitOps transformation with ArgoCD and n8n that reduced manual deployment effort by 70% and cut environment provisioning from four days to 12 minutes. I also built a Go-based self-service platform that abstracts Terraform complexity so development teams can provision infrastructure consistently.

Previously at Red Hat Canada, I designed and deployed production OpenShift clusters on AWS, Azure, and GCP for Fortune 500 clients, including SOC2- and HIPAA-compliant environments. I migrated 50+ monolithic workloads to containers, improving resource utilization by 45% and reducing annual cloud spend by $200k.

Across Red Hat, NetApp, and Saba Software, I’ve improved reliability through automation, observability, cloud-native storage optimization, CI/CD, and incident response. I’m passionate about reducing operational toil and enabling teams to self-serve secure, scalable infrastructure.
